Fender (2023) Player Stratocaster CME Exclusive - Pacific Peach, w/OHSC

A particularly eye-catching dealer-exclusive take on the classic Stratocaster, this 2023 Fender Player Stratocaster was produced for Chicago Music Exchange in the exclusive Pacific Peach finish.

Built in Mexico as part of Fender's original Player Series, the guitar pairs a solid alder body with a maple neck and matching maple fingerboard. The neck features Fender's comfortable Modern “C” profile, a 9.5" fingerboard radius, and 22 medium-jumbo frets, providing the familiar feel of a Stratocaster with a slightly more contemporary playing surface.

Three Player Series Alnico 5 Stratocaster single-coil pickups deliver the clarity, sparkle, bite, and responsive dynamics associated with the classic SSS Strat configuration. A traditional 5-way blade selector provides the full range of Stratocaster pickup combinations, from articulate bridge tones to the unmistakable out-of-phase character of positions two and four.

The two-point synchronized tremolo uses bent-steel saddles for a smooth feel and classic Fender response, while sealed tuning machines provide reliable everyday performance.

Visually, the CME-exclusive Pacific Peach finish is the centerpiece. Paired with the maple fingerboard and parchment plastics, it gives the guitar a distinctive pastel appearance unavailable in Fender's standard Player Series lineup.

This example is accompanied by the matching CME Shell Pink hardshell case with cream interior, completing a particularly distinctive Fender/CME combination.
